The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 371 Evening makeup is here

  Finally, Tang Wanzhuang didn't show up until the evening of the next day.

  Zhao Changhe breathed a sigh of relief, changed into plain clothes, wiped off the scars, carried a basket of ducks, and honestly went to the back door of the Santo's Mansion.

  The gatekeeper didn't question the face of the new student, just casually asked: "Substitution?"

  Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically: "Yes, several of them have joined the army."

The gatekeeper is called eating melons and eating his own house, and sighed dullly: "Well, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere... Do you know the way? If you don't know the way, just go in and find someone to take it with you. Keep some rules when you go in, don't look around and don't run around , and return back the same way after the back kitchen delivered the goods.”

  Zhao Changhe responded honestly, and asked a servant in a serious manner when he entered the door, and then was led straight to the back kitchen to hand over the ducks.

   Along the way, I looked at six roads and listened to all directions, but I didn't find anything, but I could feel that the internal guards were a bit ridiculously strict.

  On this road alone, I met several patrolling guards, and occasionally I could hear subtle and long breathing, which is a sign of a master, not an ordinary housekeeper who has practiced a few hands.

  Seeing the spectacle and seeing the leopard, the strength of this backyard alone is enough for an ordinary gang to start a sect.

  Although it is understandable to say that a city lord’s backyard guards are strict, this kind of guarding strength of three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry is still a bit abnormal, especially when Lu Shiheng has not returned to the mansion at this time, what are they guarding?

  When I arrived at the back kitchen, a manager complained: "Why did the duck come so late today? Hey, it's changed..."

  Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically: "I'm not familiar with the road, so I'm a bit late..."

   "Let's put it here." The steward said, "Go back and tell Da Zhou that we will double the number of ducks we will send tomorrow. The guests especially love his ducks, and Da Zhou has made us look good."

  Zhao Changhe scratched his head with a simple and honest face: "Our boss's duck, who in Xiangyang doesn't like to eat it."

"What about Xiangyang? It's a guest from the north. This is called North-South Tongsha." The steward didn't say much, and waved his hand: "Go back, go back, you know the same way, don't run around, you will be hacked and no one can save you. .”

  Guests from the North…

  Zhao Changhe left the back kitchen slowly, walked to a place where the guards could not see, accelerated suddenly, and walked towards the guest courtyard.

  Who will return the same way with you... Isn't it just in case something goes wrong, can you have an excuse for not knowing the way and getting lost...

  Even if Wanzhuang doesn’t arrive today, it will definitely arrive tomorrow... It doesn’t matter if you can’t find out the situation, at least you must rescue Li Si’an first, otherwise there will be hostages in other people’s hands, and things will be difficult to do.

  The guest house where Li Sian was under house arrest is easy to find, because you can often hear servants chatting about Mr. Li who was locked in yesterday.

   "It is said that the city lord ordered Mr. Li to play with the maid casually... This is so cool."

"However, I didn't touch any of them, and all the maids were driven away...Let's not talk about the maids. Didn't they say that they often send concubines to each other, what is the so-called flair? It is said that the eighteenth aunt went to accompany Mr. Li, no Know what's going on now, have you driven away?"

   "Hiss...Eighteen aunt's winking eyes can glance at me, and my life will be shortened by eighteen years. I don't believe that Mr. Li is willing to drive away, he must be dying!"

   "You are the same as you? That is the big proprietor who has brothels all over the land of Jingchu. What beautiful girl have you never seen?"

   "I don't believe anyone is prettier than Aunt Eighteen!"

  Amidst the discussions, Zhao Changhe arrived at the gate of Li Si'an's guest courtyard in a hurry. Under the vigilant eyes of a group of guards, he swept across the blind corner of the courtyard wall like the wind, and fell lightly behind a tree of flowers, observing silently.

   Sure enough, a charming whisper came from the room: "Why do you have to do this, sir, the city lord doesn't care about sending Ji concubine..."

  Li Si'an's voice came: "I care."

   "Mr. has played too many unowned ones. Isn't this owned one fun?"

   “…I haven’t played Borderlands either.”

   "You run a brothel..."

   "Yes, I don't like women, madam please go back."

  The door opened, and a charming woman was thrown out, and she staggered a few steps before standing still.

  The door slammed shut, and the woman blushed with anger: "A dead rabbit that kills a thousand knives!"

  Zhao Changhe held his breath tightly, his heart skipped a beat.

  He can't see the exercises of other families, but he can still feel the characteristics of the exercises he has practiced, such as the evil spirit of the Blood God Sect, and... the sluggish aura of the Ultimate Bliss Dafa. Those are typical highlights that are different from other practices.

   Maitreya teaches the goddess!

   No wonder Lu Shiheng is so willing. He really treats his concubine to guests. The daring love has a purpose... Zhen has **** with Maitreya's celestial girl, and he doesn't know what's going on when he is controlled.

  But isn’t Lu Shiheng’s attitude very against Maitreya? In Xiangyang City, one can scold the emperor, but it is taboo for anyone to mention welcoming Maitreya.

   What's even more outrageous is that Zhao Changhe's own definite news that Maitreya and the Blood God Sect are going to attack Xiangyang City from both sides! The Blood God Sect that the Maitreya envoy I saw with my own eyes couldn't be wrong.

  What's going on here?

  Zhao Changhe looked up, the sun had completely set.

  The Maitreya celestial maiden was greeting her subordinate maid: "Come here, tell Lu Shiheng, stop being indecisive, I'm going to be tough here, I'm afraid it won't be too late."

  ...

  Not long after Zhao Changhe entered the City Lord's Mansion, Tang Wanzhuang arrived in Xiangyang under the setting sun.

  She didn't go through the city gate, she floated lightly over the towering city wall, and went directly to Xiangong Garden.

  Actually, Lu Shiheng didn't expect Tang Wanzhuang to come so quickly. The ideal state is to control or instigate Li Si'an, and let Li Si'an cheat Tang Wanzhuang by himself, then it will be safe.

  This is also the reason why Lu Shiheng didn't directly attack Li Si'an, he needed Li Si'an to do something.

   As a result, Li Si'an didn't make any progress, and made no progress in the day, but here Tang Wanzhuang had already arrived.

   Fortunately, Xiangongyuan has already changed people and made sufficient preparations. It is impossible for Tang Wanzhuang to know what each of his subordinates in Xiangyang looks like, so he can fool around for the time being.

  The steward arranged by Lu Shiheng wiped his sweat to greet Tang Wanzhuang: "Senior, why are you here?"

  Tang Wanzhuang looked around and frowned slightly: "Why are they all faces, what about Si'an?"

   "The fourth brother has something to do, he should be back in the evening, let's take a break first, have a meal?"

  Tang Wanzhuang narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a while, then smiled brightly: "Okay, let's have something light."

   This smile really made everyone around me go numb.

  Some people say that if there is a selection of the most beautiful woman in the world, Tang Shouzuo is very likely to be at the top of the list. People who haven't seen it think it's bragging, but after seeing it in person, it's really well-known, and immediately feel that the whole fairy palace is full of vulgar fans? Including some of the maidens of the Maitreya sect that Lu Shiheng secretly replaced, they are said to be fascinating, but compared with Tang Shouzuo, that's nothing.

  The steward arranged a light meal, and did not dare to prescribe medicine. He is the third place on the list and the first place in the Magic Division of Daxia Town. It is really not something that ordinary medicine can solve, and it may be seen as a problem.

  It's a pity that Tang Wan's makeup came too fast, and many arrangements were too late to be arranged.

  He arranged everything as usual, and carefully waited on the side: "What do you want to tell me? Do you want to see City Lord Lu?"

  Tang Wanzhuang sipped the porridge leisurely, and said with a smile, "Well, tell me about City Lord Lu, come here and meet..."

  The steward didn't find anything wrong with what he said, so he retreated with a smile, and flew to report to Lu Shiheng... In fact, he didn't need to tell, the first time Tang Wanzhuang came here, someone flew to report to Lu Shiheng.

  Tang Wanzhuang watched his retreating back, a glint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

   Something happened here...

  The real underlings of Zhenmasi’s secret agent will definitely feel astonished at the matter of “letting the city lord come to our spy station to talk about things”. Isn’t this directly exposing the secret base we have been operating for so many years to the city lord?

   But the steward didn't think about it at all...

   It can only prove that either this place has been exposed long ago, they all know that they have betrayed... or this person is directly from Lu Shiheng's people, not Li Si'an's people.

  Tang Wanzhuang's expression did not change, she drank the porridge calmly, thinking in her heart that it was still a bit late, if Li Si'an was caught, he would not be able to do things well.

  It's a pity that in this situation, no one can help to save Li Si'an... Even if he can secretly inform Da Zhou through voice transmission, Da Zhou doesn't have enough strength, instead he was exposed for nothing.

   Forget it, see Walking Step, first meet Lu Shiheng and see what he is doing.

  There was a knock on the door outside, and Lu Shiheng smiled heartily, and stepped in: "The first person came to Xiangyang, why didn't he go to the city lord's mansion, but came to the brothel? It doesn't sound good to hear it."

  Tang Wanzhuang smiled slightly: "There is no one else, but because Mr. Si'an is an old friend of the Tang family, he is just a visiting friend. Please sit down, prefect."

  Prefect, this is the real official position, and Daxia does not have the position of "city lord".

  But Lu Shiheng intentionally or unintentionally let people only call him the city lord. Over time, people even forgot that he was the prefect of Xiangyang in Daxia, as if he was really the lord of the city.

  The first sentence Tang Wanzhuang spoke made the atmosphere in the whole hall stagnate.

  But Lu Shiheng didn't seem to feel it, and he cupped his hands and smiled naturally: "The first one defeated Maitreya in Taihu Lake yesterday, and today he has arrived in Xiangyang. He is so non-stop, but what is the military matter?"

   "Not bad." Tang Wanzhuang said indifferently: "If I come a day later, I'm afraid Xiangyang will be very good, and it will no longer be owned by Daxia."
